A Tree-mendous Tree for Green Aware Week

Update!  The tree has been built!

The morning dawned bright and sunny, for the second day of Whitchurch’s first GreenAware Week.

A 'Tree-Mend-Us' trashy tree on the Meadow

Whitchurch Arts and the Whitchurch Sustainability Forum supporters met on the Millennium Meadow for the ‘Trashy Tree’ – a fun recycled art project, dubbed a ‘Tree-Mend-Us’ sculpture.

Soon a shape was taking place with appropriately an old exhaust pipe as the centre support, a clothes whirlygig, cak bands, and all manner of what many would simply term “rubbish”.

By the end of the day the ‘Tree’ had become an impressive finale to the weekend, a true artistic use of old materials – recycling rubbish into an art form.

The meadow smiled!
